Hello,
I was enabling http/2 and I for some stupid reason reinstalled Apache without backing up it’s files.
I spent a lot of time now trying to recreate the Apache files that were automatically generated when I created this WordPress install via 1 click install, to no avail.
I am trying to figure out how to get the files I need to get this Droplet working again.
- Right now I’ve got apache up and running, I’ve enabled
AllowOverride Allin apache.conf: - I also ran
a2ensite mydomain.comas well - I added
ServerName mydomain.comto the 000-default.conf in sites-available fire
I also downloaded apache files from other droplets that are working and tried to re-create the same feel, no luck. Apache is not showing anything in error logs
Could you please point me where should I look and what should i do to T/S this since my site is still not loading?
Thank you

What ended up being and issue is next error message:
Considering conflict mpm_event for mpm_prefork:
ERROR: Module mpm_event is enabled - cannot proceed due to conflicts. It needs to be disabled first!
Leaving that just in case someone else has the same/similar issue :)

Hey friend,
Sounds like you’ve been busy and making a solid effort on this. Maybe I can help you look at it differently. At this point I think let’s break away from trying to make the configs match their original, and focus on the current state of it. What is currently happening that causes this to not work? Describe to me where the live result breaks from the desired result, and what that looks like from your perspective. Error messages, etc.
Focusing on the current state and moving forward from there will probably put us on the right path.

Hello.
How about taking the backup of WordPress content and database through terminal (assuming the files still exists)?
Then you can migrate the whole site to the new droplet.
Praveen!
